As expected, first month of this year has been very dismal for Honda India due to production constraints. Honda managed to sell just 1784 units of its various models during this month against 6358 units for January 2011, indicating a drop of 71 per cent. The present sale consists of 1503 units of City, 176 units of Civic, 98 units of Accord and 7 units of CRV. The two much sought after hatchbacks from Honda i.e. Jazz and Brio had no deliveries in January 2012. These two are having a waiting period of up to 8 months for the prospective customers. This situation is likely to be improved by March this year.
Jnaneswar Sen, Sr. Vice President Honda India said-
“Our production for the month of January was curtailed due to the recent impact of the Thailand floods. Further to our efforts, we have managed to source the crucial components from alternative locations and have already resumed the production of New City. The production of Brio and Jazz will start from February and we are confident we will achieve peak production output by March 2012.”
